Ammonites were some of the most diverse organisms in the ancient ocean. The Museum holds one of the world’s largest collections of ammonites, containing nearly two million specimens that represent 300 million years of Earth’s history!

You are extraordinary
One of a kind and yet
Millions of ones
Ever changing
You are the heartbreak
And the heartbeat
You are the master
And the student
You are evolution
And stability
You are the life
And the spark
And the answer
And the question
And in the times that you feel lost
Please remember all of these things
That make you
Extraordinary

The many faces of reactive plasma cells - all found within the same chronic skin infection in a dog!
Plasma cells are activated B lymphocytes and their purpose is to secrete immunoglobulin. When they become reactive, or stimulated, they can be binucleated, multinucleated, and have a variety of morphological changes occur including the formation of Russell bodies. Russell bodies are round to globular intracellular aggregates of immunoglobulin; their formation is due to an imbalance between the rates of synthesis, folding, secretion, and degradation of immunoglobulins.
While most Russell bodies are rounded, one (of many) phenotype of Russell bodies can present as crystalline bodies. Immunoglobulin crystals are very uncommon to see in plasma cell proliferations, and very few reports have been authored on them in veterinary medicine. I feel very lucky to have found three different types of crystalline bodies as you can hopefully appreciate in the above pictures!
it would be so cool if you did e. coli in a jason mask (my friend brought this up. doesn’t have to be e. coli tho :P)
or if you did a microbe with the markiplier pink mustache :DDDDD
I've definitely done E. coli before, but I'll absolutely take the hat suggestions! I'm always in need of those.
